This article explains how to add additional software (beyond what comes preinstalled) to your HSE-issued MacBook. Our district automatically supplies each staff and student device with commonly - used programs like Microsoft Word, Zoom, Chrome, and others. For those who need additional programs, the following explains how to add them.
Anything you would add to your Mac falls into one of two categories--software that HSE provides and supports, and all other software.
